the air that you breathe it must be poisoned and you’re dressed up in your best disguise and i don’t want to hear what you have to say it’s there in your eyes when you look away these beautiful words are turning into lies

[chorus:] how can you say that to me

the light that still shines is just an illusion it’s just a memory from a burned out star its promise has come from so far away it’s fighting through sadness and years of decay and it’s a wonder it ever made it this far

[chorus]

after all of those secrets you let me believe there’s no rose petal air, there’s just th*rns when i breathe oh now how can you say that

it’s not this silence that screams in my mind each day i feel like i’m falling behind living in shadows, still getting burned when will i ever learn

[chorus]

after all those secrets you let me believe there’s no rose petal air, there’s just th*rns when i breathe how can you say that to me
